There are tons of salmon in the river and creek, both alive and dead. It’s so powerful to see them moving upstream.
The fall colors are just beginning. It was very uncrowned.

Trail was nice, some muddy spots, but nothing too severe. Bugs were annoying, even with bug spray, pretty much as soon as we started. Seemed to be a fair amount of people in the park area and on trails. I was thankful I did not bring my dog this time as there were some families in the park with off leash dogs running up to other dogs and causing issues- keep your dogs on leash!!

Not my favorite hike, but still a nice one. Overall it was a beautiful day to be outside with some friends

the trail is very muddy in spots as you get closer to the river

This was probably the most... odoriferous hike I've ever done. The photos should explain why. 

Smell aside, it was fascinating to witness this iconic aspect of PNW ecology up close. Several live salmon were still battling their way upstream and digging nests. There were a ton of eggs visible. 

There was definitely evidence of the bomb cyclone around the park, but nothing blocking roads or the trails were were on.

It was a short day for us, walking about 2 miles on various paths. There isn't a way to cross the Green River except by the parking area at the west end of the park, so we had to backtrack a long way to see the other half of the park. The two "geysers" are pretty skippable, so don't feel bad if you don't make it over to them.

There was plenty of parking at 11am, fully stocked bathrooms, and several nice picnic shelters to eat lunch on a rainy day. 

Started with visits to the two geysers, then continued along the river trail. The trail was beautiful, especially where it overlooked the water. The path started wide, then progressively narrowed. Would have been easier to navigate the end if it were wider and more maintained, but very beautiful nonetheless.
